I've read Brotherless Night and Trespasses and I thought they were both excellent reads. But don't test me on them because my memory is shocking. I just know that I loved them at the time. I'm just reading Orbital which won the Booker. It's not a casual read - you have to read every word to get the full effect, and I've never read anything like it before, but I guess that's a feature of the Booker winners.
Very short book - not plot-led or character-led even. Philosophical and thoughtful, seeing earth from the perspective of space. The writing is exceptional.

Thanks Fran. I loved Brotherless Night and Trespasses. I've not read Orbital yet. Have you finished it? What did you think?
